Description:

Painful and potentially debilitating tendon and
ligament injuries are among the most common and serious physiological problems
facing performance horses. The severity ranges from minor injuries to those that
end careers or even the horse's life. However, with proper treatment, these
injuries can be overcome, and permanent damage minimized.

Writing in concise, accessible language, equine veterinarian Linda Schultz
provides the most up-to-date information on identifying, treating, and managing
tendon and ligament injuries. You'll review basic anatomy, understand how and
why these injuries occur, and discover the effects of horseshoeing on tendons
and ligaments. You'll see exactly what you should (and shouldn't) do during the
critical healing process -- plus, you'll learn to communicate effectively with
your veterinarian to ensure your horse is soon back on his feet and doing his
job.
